OBS

In Roman law things were classified ("inter alia") as immovables ("res immobiles" or "res soli") and movables ("res mobiles"), and the division exists in modern times in most Continental systems of law. ... In the English Courts the classification is adopted for the purposes of private international law where questions of conflict arise. ... In these cases immovable property falls to be governed by the "lex situs", i.e., the law of the place where the property is situate. ... (Crossley Vaines, 3rd ed., 1975, pp. 14-15)

OBS

The more natural distinction between "movables" and "immovables" is almost universally accepted in Canada in conflict of laws cases, even in situations involving only common law jurisdictions.
